39If thy brother constrained by poverty, sell himself to thee, thou shalt not oppress him with the service of bondservants:
40But he shall be as a hireling, and a sojourner: he shall work with thee until the year of the jubilee,
41And afterwards he shall go out with his children, and shall return to his kindred and to the possession of his fathers,
42For they are my servants, and I brought them out of the land of Egypt: let them not be sold as bondmen:
43Afflict him not by might, but fear thy God.
44Let your bondmen, and your bondwomen, be of the nations that are round about you.
45And of the strangers that sojourn among you, or that were born of them in your land, these you shall have for servants:
46And by right of inheritance shall leave them to your posterity, and shall possess them for ever. But oppress not your brethren the children of Israel by might.
47If the hand of a stranger or a sojourner grow strong among you, and thy brother being impoverished sell himself to him, or to any of his race:
48After the sale he may be redeemed. He that will of his brethren shall redeem him:
49Either his uncle, or his uncle’s son, or his kinsman, by blood, or by affinity. But if he himself be able also, he shall redeem himself,
